Your environment anywhere
Recent advances in rendering technology make it possible to create stunning renderings in real-time. Additionally, increased availability of this technology in laptops has created an affordable medium to deliver your virtual environment anywhere.
Multiple environments can be displayed on one laptop, cutting down the amount of physical space needed to showcase products.
With the release of hardware such as Oculus Go in 2018, virtual experiences are becoming even more affordable, not requiring any computer to present your environments.
Drive down costs with VR
Virtual environments allow a variety of products to be showcased in a controlled experience. With the flexibility of virtual environments you can:
- Replace products quickly and seamlessly once they are designed
- Eliminate time-consuming prototype development
- Gather consumer feedback before products are manufactured
- Decrease the need for photo shoots
- Utilize the base 3d model to create solutions for a variety of marketing needs
